Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA CDDCC EFFEE GHHGG IJJIK LMMLL ENNEE| The fire burns bright | A |
| And the hearth is clean swept | B |
| As she likes it kept | B |
| And the lamp is alight | A |
| She is coming to night | A |
| - | |
| The wind's east of late | C |
| When she comes she'll be cold | D |
| So the big chair is rolled | D |
| Close up to the grate | C |
| And I listen and wait | C |
| - | |
| The shutters are fast | E |
| And the red curtains hide | F |
| Every hint of outside | F |
| But hark how the blast | E |
| Whistled then as it passed | E |
| - | |
| Or was it the train | G |
| How long shall I stand | H |
| With my watch in my hand | H |
| And listen in vain | G |
| For the wheels in the lane | G |
| - | |
| Hark A rumble I hear | I |
| Will the wind not be still | J |
| And it comes down the hill | J |
| And it grows on the ear | I |
| And now it is near | K |
| - | |
| Quick a fresh log to burn | L |
| Run and open the door | M |
| Hold a lamp out before | M |
| To light up the turn | L |
| And bring in the urn | L |
| - | |
| You are come then at last | E |
| O my dear is it you | N |
| I can scarce think it true | N |
| I am holding you fast | E |
| And sorrow is past | E |
